Playing Hard to Get

Our dear friend Chris, the author of our guide Cubed Foot Gardening, seems to have special abilities at finding fertilizers. His book calls for 15-10-10 and 5-10-10 fertilizers and 0-45-0 rock triple phosphate. I'm sure I could find these fellas online somewhere. But there are no such products at our local Lowe's, Armstrong's or ACE. So, I chatted with new pal at Armstrong's who says that the organic fertilizer I bought will work just fine. It's not high in nitrogen, which heeds guru Chris's major warning in his top ten most common mistakes in vegetable gardening...  So, unless anyone complains AND finds these products, I say we just proceed with the products we have. What say we all?

    I can try looking at Roger's Gardens tomorrow (in Newport). Is there an amount I'm looking for? One bottle? Two pounds? 8 cubic yards?

    Also, is there a budget?

    It'd be great if you checked there. Umm, no budget yet, should we work on that? And I have no idea on quantities. Some help I am. Sorry

    That might be why our tomato plant only bore one fruit. We were using stuff from Lowe's.
